Flo's First SAL - Starry Night with Tardis

[flosaxby]

Hi All,

It's been a while since I updated here. I finished a second page (or page 8 to those who have the pattern) at the end of January.



and have got a fair way through my third page (or page 4 to those who have the pattern!)



But now I need to stop so that I can complete a new project for a colleague. I'll start another SAL for that one...

Great update Flo! I haven't stitched on mine since August - I hope to get a few WIPs finished and then get down to business on it! Your pics are beautiful - great to see an almost complete Tardis!

amazing work!! this is so great to see, I have just literally just printed out the chart to "read". But alas I have some other projects lined up first before I can even think about this one! think I will slowly start kitting it up for the future! Hope mine will be as neat as yours x

Loving your progress on this. I have this one as well, I think it will be my next start after a finish on one of my WIP's. My OH really wants me to do it for him

Thanks for all the lovely comments.

I think my main problem with this chart is deciding which colour to do next. I've always been a "cross-country" stitcher following the shade until I run out of thread or the next stitch is too far away but I seem to spend a lot of time thinking "well if i do that colour then I can do these 2 areas of this colour" and such like! It really slows you down!

lovely progress sorry it makes you all dither

[tiffstitch]

Interesting notion on why you feel it's growing slower. I hope your other project goes quickly so I can see more of this one!

[flosaxby]

Can't believe it's so long since I posted an Update on this!

Back at the end of August I finished the 3rd page (well technically page 4 of the design!)



And a week ago I finished a 4th page (actually page 3!)



I don't think I'll be doing much more on it this year as I've just quit my job and started a full time MSc in Biomedical Science and studying is going to take over my life I think!

Fantastic update! You really have made good progress on this and it is beautiful! Best of luck with your new endeavor. Sounds like you are going to be very busy, but drop in now and again to let us know how you are doing with school, as well as your stitching.

It's brilliant! I really hope you do have some stitching time! Best of luck with the study, what are you hoping it will lead to? research?

Thanks for all the lovely comments! And for the good luck wishes!

Fizzbw I'm hoping that this qualification will get me access to a 2 year Radiotherapy course then I'll be qualified to give radiation treatments for cancer patients. It's going to be a tough few years but hopefully it'll be worth it!

I hope to keep doing some stitching but probably smaller projects that are easier to complete...
